A single source, Deir Ezzor 24, said that one civilian was killed following strikes by unknown aircraft on the house of Farouk al Mashouk – known as the ‘Mufti’s house’ – which was being used by Daesh as a prison.

The correspondent said the raid had resulted in the death of the prisoner Laith Allawi al-Jab. Reportedly the rest of the raids “focused on the kindergarten Al-Rayaheen near the mosque Othman bin Affan and near the headquarters of the Hesba of the (state) organization”. No further details are presently available.
